    Well, if you download the game, it will give you that option right away. Multiplayer is displayed at the top of the touch screen while single player is on the bottom. I've only beaten the first level, but it seems like a fun game. Actually, I'd go so far as to call it hard because you have to coordinate your attacks.

    Same here; I've never gotten to play Four Swords Adventures in the past because of that requirement. But if we could play it on our own now, that's great!

    Truth be told: I own the original GBA game, which included A Link to the Past and Four Swords. However, I could never play Four Swords part of it because it actually required you to be linked with other players via the GBA link cable. This version doesn't require that. You can control two characters at once if you choose single player mode, which is good for my means since I usually only use video games' multiplayer features online (and even then, it's mostly just for Pokémon and, to a lesser extent, AC-New Leaf).

    I actually never finished Majora's Mask. My brother was borrowing it from a friend, and we had to return it. I got stuck in the last temple anyways (which is an amazing dungeon). :P

    Wow, I love the lore behind the games. And it's awesome seeing how the passage of time affects certain locations. Maybe even events in some games (Okamiden comes to mind with a great example of this). Pretty cool that Skyloft becomes a dungeon in the future. And a city dungeon, no less - how does that work?

    Don't worry about it, I like getting comments, and I'm enjoying this conversation. ^-^ Free download! I just saw a thread about it - I need to go download it!

    Majora's Mask is one of the few "newer" Zelda games that I haven't played, and trust me when I say that I've wanted to. I actually missed OoT for the N64, but I got the 3DS remake when I got my 3DS two Christmases ago.

    Mmm, SS and TP do kind of blur, but they're not totally unrelated. Actually, they have more in common with each other than any of the other games. I mean, the whole setting for Skyward Sword (which is supposed to take place before all of the other games in general) takes most of its traits directly from Twilight Princess. For instance, Twilight Princess talks about how Hylians have their origins in the sky and you even get to visit a dungeon called "City in the Sky," whose inhabitants are all this avian creatures with humanlike faces (it sounds creepy, but they're very nice in the game). In Skyward Sword, you travel to and from the floating island of Skyloft (which came into being thanks to the goddess Hylia sending an outcropping of land into the sky with her divine power). Skyloft is basically the past version of the City in the Sky. Additionally, locations like Eldin Volcano and Faron Woods are supposedly the future Death Mountain and Lost Woods.

    Sorry if I'm bombarding you... I've actually been catching up on a lot of the older titles the two years. In fact, I just downloaded Four Swords today since they announce a free download of it.

    Yeah, King Bulblin appears on the Eldin Bridge stage in Brawl. But you get to battle him on horseback? That sounds awesome!

    Oh wait, we were talking about Skyward Sword, huh? I guess those two games blur together for me, since I've never played/watched them. >_< I think Majora's Mask may kind of reference the goddesses, but perjoratively, according to some theories I've read. But I believe the Oracle games (which I adore) are the first time I learned about their existence.

    Eldin Bridge is a setting in Twilight Princess. It's actually a critical part of the story where Link fights the Bokoblin King (a ogre who rides a giant boar). It's pretty dramatic because you've got to ride on horseback and try to slice him with your sword before he gores your horse Epona, which sends you flying into the ravine. Additionally, it's important to the storyline since, up to that point, Link's been trying to track down some kids from his village who got kidnapped by the monster.

    In Skyward Sword, the dragons are symbolic of the three gods that supposedly created the Triforce (Din, Farore, and Nayru). They don't always appear in the series in general, though. If I recall, OoT and Wind Waker are the only ones where they're referenced, and the GBC Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons games are the only ones where they appear (Din is the Oracle of Seasons and Nayru is the Oracle of Ages, while Farore is the Oracle of Secrets since she lets you use special passwords to unlock extras in each game).

    Haha, a gambling dragon! I've heard of those names, but only as part of dungeon names (or in the case of Eldin, from the stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl). I had no idea they were dragons, which I'm assuming are mystical. Which is why I'm amused by Lanayru liking gambling. :P

    Yeah, timed battles are few and far between in games, except in Zelda: Skyward Sword's Boss Rush event in which you're trying to get the best time. However, that's not part of the main game... It's actually something you can only do during the last part of the game, wherein you're trying to find these three elemental dragons: Faron of Water, Eldin of Fire, and Lanayru of Thunder. Lanayru liked to gamble and he'll give you prizes if you let him use his powers to make Link relive boss battles or rechallenge these spirit world levels known as Silent Realms.

    Yeesh, timed battles, so you can't be overly cautious. But then you run the risk of dying to his powerful attacks. Hmm, it doesn't seem like timed battles are a common thing in video games recently. It feels like I've seen quite a few in the past, though I can't think of many.

    Exactly. Also, it has nasty attacks that can kill you fast (namely, stomping). You can stun it in the second and third battles, but it gets hard to after it gains its flying ability.

    Huh, interesting. This happens in real-time? I mean it's constantly making progress towards the temple and you have a certain amount of time to stop it each time or something?

    In a nutshell, you fight the same monster (The Imprisoned) three different times before it turns into the final boss (Demise). The Imprisoned is different each battle. First, it's this giant blob with legs. Next battle it grows arms. Last time you fight it, it learns how to fly. The goal is to stop it from escaping a pit and destroying a shrine that's kept it sealed away for thousands of years. If it reaches the temple, the game ends. That's why it gets hard.

    Yep, I didn't play Twilight Princess either. I heard that it's similar to Ocarina of Time, dungeon-wise at least. Skyward Sword gets rough halfway? What happens to cause this difficulty spike? But yeah, in my (admittedly limited) experience, final Zelda bosses tend to have several phases and are actually quite tough!

    Not really, but they weren't bad. So, if you didn't play SS, then you probably missed Twilight Princess too? Both were good, but SS got rough halfway in. The final boss had three incarnations you had to beat during the course of the game and they kept getting worse and worse. The third battle was almost impossible to complete.
